Fjåk x Kode museum sits tucked inside the Stenersen wing of Kode 2, blending art and coffee culture in a spot that invites both locals and visitors to pause and savor the moment. This café earns its stripes with thoughtfully crafted drinks and a niche menu that reflects a strong Norwegian influence — notably the cheese cake with brown cheese, which stands out as a smooth, subtly sweet treat balancing the café’s sharper coffee offerings.

The vibe here is quietly deliberate rather than buzzy, making it ideal for the mid-morning crowd or early afternoon when you want to escape the bustle of Bergen’s center without straying too far. It’s not a place for rushing but rather for lingering — evident in the way the staff engage warmly, even accommodating simple requests like use of the restroom with genuine hospitality. The service pace might feel leisurely compared to typical city cafés, but that seems in line with its art museum setting and unhurried mood.

The drink list is where Fjåk x Kode really shines, especially if you appreciate a range of specialty lattes beyond the staple espresso-based drinks. Matcha, hojicha, and black sesame lattes show an attentiveness to diverse palate preferences, alongside a cappuccino or mocha that arrive with careful latte art and balanced flavors. For those who lean towards hot chocolate, the café’s twist — a thicker version with reduced milk — offers depth without overwhelming sweetness.

Food-wise, the café leans toward simple sandwiches and pastries made with finesse rather than volume. The ham and pepper sandwich is a solid pick, but the baked goods, especially almond croissants and the unique brown cheese cheesecake, seem to catch the most appreciation for their texture and freshness. Portions are satisfying without excess, fitting the light, gallery-adjacent atmosphere.

This is a spot that caters well to anyone looking for a calm pause amid a day of museum visits or a quiet catch-up spot for small groups. The indoor seating melds well with the museum environment — minimalist but cozy enough to unwind with a book or chat quietly. If you’re in town on a weekend or a weekday afternoon, Fjåk x Kode offers a subtle alternative to the more tourist-heavy cafés just outside its walls.

We had a brown cheese cheesecake, a special hot chocolate and a flat white. The cheesecake was amazing, as you can see from the photo the inner part of it is sooooo smooth, which compliments the top and bottom of the cheesecake. The hot chocolate was a highlight as well, the special one had half amount of milk as usual. It is much thicker but not too thick! I really love hot chocolates that are not too sweet, and I’m able to taste the cocoa beans without being too bitter and thick.

This place have the best drink menu of all the coffee shops in downtown Bergen. In addition to the hot chocolate they have matcha latte, hojicha latte, black sesame latte! I tried all of them and they are really good. The coffee and pastries are also great. Only minus is that the service was always pretty slow.

I originally just stopped by to ask if I could use the toilet—and my request was kindly met with a warm “yes.” That alone already made a great first impression! After a brief, pleasant chat with one of the lovely staff members, I took a quick look at the food on display… and then I saw the almond croissant. It looked absolutely delicious. I asked if it was as good as it looked, and she smiled and said it was even better. She was right. It might just be one of the best pastries I’ve ever had—somewhere between a croissant, a cookie, and a marzipan-filled dream. I was so impressed, I felt inspired to write this review! If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and try the almond croissant. And just as important: the staff here are genuinely kind. A simple stop turned into a highlight of my day. Best regards Hifilars

Today I went to the coffee shop and ordered a mocha. It was served to me in just under 5 minutes. I was surprised by the excellent latte art, which is a big plus, and the perfect flavor. The service was very good.

I came here with a group of 7 so we tried the menu pretty extensively. The baked goods are delightful! From the sandwiches to the desserts, everything was well balanced and had the right amount of crisp and softness depending on the type of bread. The focaccia melted in my mouth and the tomatoes were so flavorful and juicy. Cappuccinos and Mochas were also delicious. But the best of all was the service and kindness of all the staff. We ended up coming here twice in our short 24 hours in Bergen and this was easily my favorite meal!

Great place for a quick coffee or a sit down for brunch. Cosy and comfortable with a good view, perfect for reading or just relaxing after touring Bergen. Menu selection is great. Try out the hot chocolates as these are their specialties.

Firstly I have to admit that I'm slightly byist. I know the owners and the effort they go to to get the chocolate beans directly from sustainable growers. The chocolate and cakes are a delight. Relaxed ambient, good coffee. Perfect
